BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY

:

FCI

Carl Peintinger, industrialist in Styria, began breeding in 1870 by crossing the Hanoverian Scent Hound bitch "Hela 1" with a coarse-haired male Istrian Hound, which excelled in hunting qualities and appearance. The best puppies from this litter were reared and selective breeding from them was continued. Their rough coats made the dogs resistant to the inclemencies of the weather.

UKC

The breed is fairly recent, having been created in Austria from a cross between a Hanoverian Scenthound and a coarse haired Istrian Hound. The best puppies from the litter were kept and used for selective breeding to create the Styrian Coarse Haired Hound.
The Styrian Coarse Haired Hound was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 2006.
